Chapter 110: Marquis's Daughter Marries
"No, Rourou, listen to me!" Prince Dun became more and more anxious as he listened. Without the woman in front of him, how could he live a happy life?
"Don't think too much about it. Give me another twenty days. Just twenty days, and I can handle this matter!"
"I can wait, can the emperor wait?"
"he can!"
The emperor could indeed wait, because the queen told him that the sixth son of the Earl of Laiyang was going to get married soon.
The old Earl of Laiyang Earl's Mansion is a person who has made great contributions to the country. The royal family has to give face to his legitimate son when he gets married!
If Prince Dun's wedding is arranged in the near future, wouldn't it steal the limelight from the Earl of Laiyang's Mansion?
Some ministers in the court also suggested that the Xian people came to Beijing with an arrogant attitude, and their arrogance should be suppressed!
The emperor always listened to advice, so he sent someone to the Xianzu post station to convey an oral order, saying that the marriage of the meritorious family of the Wu State would be postponed, and the marriage between the Xianzu princess and Prince Dun would have to be postponed, and he hoped that the Xianzu princess would be patient.
How could the Xian princess not be impatient?
The longer she stayed in Wu, the weaker she would be in the power struggle among the Xian people.
But Wu was a superior country, and she had to listen to the emperor.
There was even an oral order saying that there was a happy event in the capital, and the princess was asked to restrain her family members and not leave the post station unless it was absolutely necessary!
Some people are worried, while others are happy.
In the Weiwu Marquis's mansion, Shen Yujun was overjoyed: "Shaoyang is really thoughtful. He was afraid that I would get tired, so he even made the crown smaller."
Xiao Shuxue sneered with disdain, it was really like a turtle looking at a mung bean. Only a fool like Shen Yujun would be so complacent after his wedding crown was made smaller.
Originally, the wedding crowns of the Earl of Laiyang had three huge pearls, and countless tassels of various gems hanging down, which were extremely dazzling.
But the wedding crown sent to the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion only had a bead that was half the size, and all the gems were gone!
The maid at the Earl's Mansion was very good at speaking: "Our Sixth Young Master felt sorry for the girl. He said that she had to wear the crown all day that day. His sisters-in-law said that her neck would ache for several days. He couldn't bear to see the girl suffer this, so he specially asked someone to change the crown!"
When Shen Yujun heard this, she just covered her face in shame. Old Madam Shen looked a little regretful, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She just looked at Shen Zhili.
Ever since Shen Zhili knew about Shen Yujun's manipulation of the betrothal gifts when he got married, he was annoyed with his sister.
Now that his sister has actually married into the wealthy Earl of Laiyang's Mansion, Shen Zhili feels even more jealous!
"These are all the Sixth Young Master's good intentions. As long as the two newlyweds are satisfied, we will naturally have no objections." Shen Zhili said politely.
The nanny glanced at Shen Yujun imperceptibly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Shuxue saw it all and felt sad!
It wasn't because Shen Yujun was looked down upon before she even entered the door, but for herself.
What hope do I have if I marry into a family like this, where everyone has their own thoughts and they are so stupid?
But not long ago, someone came to the Cheng Palace, saying that they were visiting relatives, but they brought instructions from the Cheng Prince's wife.
"The Crown Prince's wife asked me to tell the princess that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. The princess should win over the Marquis and give birth to a child as soon as possible!"
"My aunt misses the princess every day, but there are many things to do in the mansion, and the Crown Princess still needs my aunt's help. But if the princess is pregnant, I will have to take care of her!"
"After all, she is my biological mother. Only by taking care of her personally can I feel at ease. Isn't that right, Princess?"
What can Xiao Shuxue say?
Her only weakness in this life is in the hands of the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince's Consort is a smiling tiger, gentle and virtuous in front of people, but a cruel and ruthless person behind their backs!
None of Prince Cheng's concubines had ever gotten pregnant, but somehow something went wrong and the most cowardly and incompetent concubine got pregnant and gave birth to a child!
Although it was a girl, this unexpected surprise made Prince Cheng and the Crown Prince very happy, and they paid more attention to and loved the newborn girl.
Xiao Shuxue is this girl. She knows that she did not grow up peacefully. In order to protect her when she was a child, her aunt went through so much hardship and torture.
When she grew up, her domineering and arrogant behavior, her cruel and rude behavior, and her various dislikes for her aunt were all done to make the thorn in the Crown Prince's wife's heart less painful.
No matter how bad the Weiwu Marquis Mansion is, Xiao Shuxue is always the dominant party. Everyone here has to live under her nose, and no one dares to make her unhappy.
But Xiao Shuxue never had a good night's sleep. He was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. He dreamed that his aunt was kneeling in the snow and frozen into an ice sculpture!
As soon as she reached out to touch it, the ice sculpture shattered to the ground!
The Crown Princess had someone bring this with her as a warning, which seemed to be well-intentioned, and was very consistent with her status as a legitimate mother.
But to Xiao Shuxue, this was a threat!
It must be that the Crown Prince's wife saw that there had been no movement from her side for a long time and was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so she wanted to use the child to tie her tightly to the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion so that she would not cause any more trouble.
Everyone in the capital knew that Xiao Shuxue was in love with General Ning Weizhou, and she even did something extraordinary, running to the General's Mansion in her wedding dress on the first day of her marriage.
It is understandable that the Crown Prince's wife is dissatisfied.
Although a married daughter is like spilled water, she is also a face for the girls waiting to be married in her natal family.
Those girls who cannot go out for social activities have to rely on their married sisters to spread their good reputation.
In this matter, the Crown Prince's Consort certainly did not rely on Xiao Shuxue, so not being a hindrance was a great help!
It’s not that Xiao Shuxue doesn’t like children, but when she looks at Shen Zhili, she really can’t help but feel disgusted!
Even the personal maid couldn't understand it and asked her behind her back: Shen Zhili obviously has a good-looking appearance, why can't the princess bring herself to eat him?
But in order for my aunt to escape from this fire pit, I have to say this!
Xiao Shuxue glanced at Shen Zhili, who immediately gave her a flattering smile in return, which made Xiao Shuxue's suppressed nausea surge up again:
"I'll go see if there's anything left to do!"
Shen Zhili supported the servant's hand and stood up: "I will go with my wife!"
"No need, just accompany Madam Lan to see if anything is missing here." Xiao Shuxue hurried out without waiting for Shen Zhili to speak.
Shen Zhili sat down again feeling very disappointed. Ever since he came back from the street last time, his back injury recurred. Although it was not as severe as the first time, it still made him feel anxious for some reason.
It was as if the disease was like a summer vine, taking root, sprouting, branching out and growing leaves, clinging tightly to his body!
After Xiao Shuxue left, Xie Xilan stood up lazily: "As for Sister Yujun's matter, my mother and husband are here, so I will take my leave first."
Since she lost her child and was diagnosed as infertile, Xie Xilan has been indifferent.
Shen Zhili frowned. He really couldn't understand how the girl who used to be smart and sensible could become as dull as a fish's eye in the blink of an eye. Just one look at her made him feel annoyed!
"Lan'er, you stay!" Old Madam Shen looked rarely in a good mood.
